Match preview: Univ Católica vs La Serena
Univ Católica and La Serena face off at the Santa Laura – UNIVERSIDAD SEK stadium in a matchup of the 12th round of the Primera Division. Historical direct encounters favour the home side, with Univ Católica winning 3 of the last 4 matches, losing only once. Their most recent encounter on 10 September 2022 ended in a definitive 4-0 victory for Univ Católica. It’s essential to consider the home and away form, as both teams show markedly different results in home matches as opposed to away.
Team analysis: Univ Católica
After 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, the home side sits in 6th place with 17 points. They suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of O’Higgins in their last match, following a 1-0 loss against Universidad Chile. They perform better at home, where in their last 30 matches, they secured 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses, scoring 31 goals and conceding 18.
Univ Católica boasts a strong home record, winning their last 4 home games. While defensive stability has been an issue, conceding in 8 of their last 10 fixtures, they have been consistently threatening in attack, scoring in 7 of those same matches. In this campaign, they have found themselves conceding the first goal 5 times but have shown resilience by turning the match around just once. Notably, they scored 14 of their 39 goals in the final 15 minutes of matches.
Pressure is mounting on Univ Católica to reverse their recent poor form and regain a position near the top of the table. A victory is vital to keep their hopes alive for continental competition qualification. They will need to improve concentration and efficiency to convert their dominance into tangible results. This match is viewed as crucial for restoring confidence and momentum.
Team analysis: La Serena
The visitors are currently positioned 12th, amassing 10 points from 4 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses. Their penultimate match saw them lose 2-1 to Audax Italiano, but they redeemed themselves with a 2-1 home win over Deportes Iquique in their latest fixture. Like their opponents, La Serena tends to perform better at home, with only 3 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses in their past 30 outings away, where they scored 13 and conceded 20 goals. Conversely, they have flourished at home, securing 13 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, netting 25 goals while conceding just 10. Recently, they have had a tough time away, with only 1 draw and 5 losses from their last 6 matches, gathering just 1 point from a possible 18.
La Serena has shown vulnerabilities defensively, allowing goals in 8 out of their last 10 matches, suggesting a lack of defensive coherence, though they have found the net in 9 of those fixtures. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 11 Primera Division matches but managed to equalize just twice. It’s notable that they conceded 10 of their 23 goals in the final moments of matches while away from home.
Although La Serena managed a victory in their previous outing, their overall campaign remains inconsistent with no sign of regularity. Facing Univ Católica away is a substantial challenge, particularly considering their defensive shortcomings. To stand a chance, they will need a cohesive team performance and to minimise errors. The objective remains to earn points and demonstrate competitiveness against a stronger opponent.
